Product details
Overview
BZX84C9V1LT3G from onsemi is a 9.1 V ±5% Zener diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 250 mW power dissipation on FR-5 board, with 15 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA test current and 0.5 μA reverse leakage at 7.3 V, used for voltage regulation in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BZX84C9V1LT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include nominal Zener voltage tolerance (±5%), thermal coefficient (+3.8 mV/°C), ESD rating (>16 kV HBM), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device operates as a two-terminal voltage reference using controlled reverse-biased avalanche breakdown. Its Zener voltage is specified at three test currents (1 mA, 5 mA, 20 mA), with dynamic impedance measured at each to characterize regulation stability under varying load conditions.
The SOT-23 package features a defined pinout (Pin 1: Anode, Pin 2: No Connection, Pin 3: Cathode) and supports automated assembly. Thermal resistance is 500 °C/W on FR-5 board, limiting continuous power handling without derating above 25°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Zener Voltage | 9.1 V nominal, 8.5–9.6 V range at 5 mA - defines regulated output voltage under standard bias |
| Power Dissipation | 250 mW on FR-5 board at 25°C - sets maximum steady-state power before thermal derating applies |
| Zener Impedance | 15 Ω max at 5 mA - indicates low AC impedance for stable regulation against ripple and load transients |
| Reverse Leakage | 0.5 μA max at 7.3 V - ensures minimal quiescent current draw in standby or precision biasing circuits |
| Temperature Coefficient | +3.8 mV/°C - quantifies voltage drift per degree Celsius, critical for temperature-stable references |
| Capacitance | 130 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - affects high-frequency noise filtering and signal integrity in RF-adjacent applications |
| ESD Rating | Class 3 (>16 kV HBM) - enables robust handling during board assembly and end-use in handheld devices |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (TO-236) surface-mount plastic package, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, void-free thermosetting case with corrosion-resistant finish, cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Forward current entry point; connected to lower-potential node in Zener regulation configuration |
| Pin 2 | No Connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pad required |
| Pin 3 | Cathode | Reverse-bias terminal; connected to regulated output node and higher-potential supply rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 250 mW FR-5 power rating | Enables use in compact battery-powered systems without external heatsinking |
| Tight thermal coefficient (+3.8 mV/°C) | Supports stable reference performance across −65°C to +150°C junction range |
| Class 3 ESD protection (>16 kV HBM) | Eliminates need for external ESD clamps in consumer handheld designs |
| Pb-Free and RoHS-compliant construction | Meets global environmental compliance requirements for industrial and automotive supply chains |
| Automated assembly-optimized SOT-23 footprint | Reduces placement cost and improves yield in high-volume SMT manufacturing |
Applications
| Portable Power Management | Signal Level Clamping |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Zener regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BZX84C9V1LT1G | Same electrical specs, but supplied in 3,000-piece tape-and-reel vs. 10,000-piece for BZX84C9V1LT3G | Preferred for prototyping or low-volume production where smaller reels reduce inventory overhead | Select BZX84C9V1LT1G when reel size must match pick-and-place feeder constraints or order quantities are sub-10k |
| BZX84B9V1LT3G | Tighter ±2% tolerance (8.92–9.28 V) vs. ±5% for BZX84C9V1LT3G; otherwise identical package, power, and thermal specs | Required in precision analog circuits where reference stability dominates cost sensitivity | Choose BZX84B9V1LT3G only when design validation confirms ±2% Zener tolerance is necessary for system accuracy |
Compared with BZX84C9V1LT3G, BZX84C9V1LT1G offers identical performance in a smaller reel format, while BZX84B9V1LT3G trades wider tolerance for tighter voltage control-neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacement, but both share identical SOT-23 footprint and thermal behavior.

FAQ
What is the Zener voltage tolerance of BZX84C9V1LT3G?
The BZX84C9V1LT3G has a nominal Zener voltage of 9.1 V with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning its actual breakdown voltage falls between 8.5 V and 9.6 V when tested at 5 mA. This tolerance is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the onsemi datasheet, under the BZX84CxxxLT1 series section. The BZX84C9V1LT3G maintains this specification across its qualified operating temperature range.
Does BZX84C9V1LT3G have a no-connect pin, and how should it be handled on the PCB?
Yes, BZX84C9V1LT3G has Pin 2 designated as "No Connection" per the mechanical outline (Style 8) and electrical characteristics table. This terminal is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating - no PCB trace, pad, or solder joint should be assigned to it. Leaving Pin 2 unconnected avoids unintended parasitic paths and ensures correct Zener operation in the intended anode–cathode configuration.
What is the maximum power dissipation of BZX84C9V1LT3G on a standard FR-5 PCB?
The BZX84C9V1LT3G is rated for 250 mW total power dissipation on an FR-5 board at 25°C ambient temperature. Above 25°C, it must be derated at 2.0 mW/°C, reducing usable power linearly with rising ambient. This rating assumes standard JEDEC-defined board conditions (1.0 × 0.75 × 0.62 inches) and is explicitly stated in the Maximum Ratings table on page 2 of the official onsemi datasheet for BZX84C9V1LT3G.
Is BZX84C9V1LT3G suitable for automotive applications?
The BZX84C9V1LT3G itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the SZBZX84C9V1LT3G variant - which shares identical electrical and thermal specifications - is automotive-grade, AEC-Q101 qualified, and PPAP capable. For non-automotive industrial or consumer use, BZX84C9V1LT3G meets RoHS and Pb-Free requirements and delivers the same 9.1 V regulation performance in SOT-23 packaging.
What is the ESD rating of BZX84C9V1LT3G, and how is it verified?
BZX84C9V1LT3G has an ESD rating of Class 3 per the Human Body Model (HBM), exceeding 16 kV. This rating is confirmed in the Features section of the onsemi datasheet and validated through standardized JEDEC JS-001 testing. The robust ESD immunity allows direct handling and placement in high-volume automated assembly lines without additional protection circuitry in most portable electronics applications.
